#30in30 2017, Day Twenty-One: Tattoo #1

trust the artist
the pen gon sting
but he gon do her thing
and make it lasting

it's drilling right in
imprinting that ink
making it permanent,
that memory

every detail is applied
might hurt a bit, to get it right
but once it's done,
it ought to be a beautiful sight

if you wanna preserve it for real,
you put it in your skin
that way, it comes alive
every time they touch it

whether it's on a limb, on your finger
on your thigh, the sensation will linger
because only if it really means something,
that's when you put it in ink
